You’d have to wonder if it is possible to get a trademark for a laird “title” if laird is actually a title at all? I would not imagine it would be possible to trademark a lord or lady title as these are real titles. I think the fact that it is possible to trademark a phrase starting with the word laird, would indicate that it is not a title at all!

If you define laird as “a landowner” using it in that way would not indicate it as a title, just a description of someone who owns land, in the same way as cobbler would describe a shoemaker who repairs shoes. That definition does nor say it is a title which may be used by someone who own land, does it?

The Lord Lyon doesn’t recognise the term Laird as a title, but he does have the authority when granting arms to recognise (or prohibit) a territorial designation, which is how Scottish lairds are distinguished. Scottish lairds don’t go round calling them selves “Laird of First Name + Surname plus Territory” – that is a marketing myth dreamed up by Highland Titles so that they can replace it with “Lord/Lady”. Copyrighting the term “Laird of Sketraw” as a trademark, therefore, is just a puerile attempt at identity theft as Sketraw would never use it himself.
